25, building consumer apps (100k mau)

[vin @vparv3]

Last week's NYC Consumer App Founder dinner was STACKED:
• 500k download solo founder, recently raised a massive pre-seed round
• Product/growth leader from travel app (9-figure ARR)
• Founder of podcast app doing $70K MRR
• Growth lead at Pinterest competitor

The room was electric. Zero pitches. Just founders trading growth tactics & alpha. And obviously we spent an hour plus talking about @nikitabier

Round 2 is March 20th. Comment for invite. Consumer founders only

One piece of advice we got during YC was to explain our company using verbs instead of nouns.

Early on, I walked into a meeting and did the opposite:

“We’re building a cloud platform for AI”

No one knew that that meant, their eyes glazed over. Then I started saying this instead:

“We containerize your code and run it on GPUs in the cloud so you don’t have to manage the infra yourself”

That clicked way more. Our brains understand verbs because they’re more concrete. If you describe your company using nouns, you risk people not understanding you.

And no one buys or invests in things they don’t understand.

Bill Gurley asked him how he does it. ⁣

Jeff's response ... "When I meet an entrepreneur, there is only one thing I ask myself .. is this person going to do this no matter what."⁣

My game on YouTube crossed 250,000 plays since launch!! 🥳
(and yes you can upload and play games on YouTube)

I have worked on 15+ web-games and 70 million+ players across all of them, but this is the fastest growth I have seen.

Monetization is not yet enabled for my account so I have paused uploading rest of my games for now.

Super excited for this platform!
